Description:
The first steps into love - can you remember that time?

Lyrics:
Everybody’s Got To Learn To Dance

See the girl in the black dress
And the boy by her side
He’s followed her around the room
With his eyes
He puts his hand on her lower back
For a dance
He makes his move
He takes his chance

Everybody’s got to learn to dance
Everybody’s got to take a chance
Everybody’s got to know the tune
Everybody’s got to make their move, make their move

He tries to find a winning phrase
To make her smile
But misses every opportunity
By a mile
She just wants this shy young man
To hold her hand
To make his move
To take a chance

Everybody’s got to learn to dance...

She asks him if he knows her name
He whispers yes
He wants to tell her everything
He wants to confess
How much he’d love to touch the skin
Beneath her dress
To make his move
To take the chance

Everybody’s got to learn to dance...

The game runs at it’s own pace
The music fast or slow
The heart beats to it’s own drum
Love’s metronome
But we’ve all got to learn the steps
To that first dance
To make our move
To take our chance

Everybody’s got to learn to dance...

Are you sittin... &mdash 09/30/06 - 04:24:32 PM
on a ton of old songs or are you just caught up in a magnificent writing
spree? Another great piece of tuneage. Lovely melody. Sensitive and true-
to-life lyrics delivered in an endearing manner. Love it.

Be well!

a ton of songs....... &mdash 09/30/06 - 04:32:04 PM
....... or at least over a hundred! I'm saving the best for a new album which I'm about to start working on. These songs were written over the past few years and appear an an album called "The Journeyman". I'm glad you're enjoying them!

Been there, done that. &mdash 10/05/06 - 06:35:51 PM
Nice description of something we've all experienced. Tom, I have a
feeling you have a truck load of great songs in your bag that you're
slowing doling out to us. If so, keep 'em coming; I haven't heard
anything from you that I didn't like. NIce vocal, solid tune. Thanks.

piece of folk....a lot of the folk on MJ leaves me bored but this is a very
natural sounding song with no pretense....love the "fireside" harmonies
and how tangible the lyrics come across....a beautiful track....peace

Nice tune &mdash 02/27/07 - 12:43:24 PM
you are a great poet and a great picker. When these songs start I reach for my guitar to play along; I try and match that mood but you are in your own class. I want that CD when it comes out.

Album available &mdash 03/01/07 - 07:14:26 PM
My album, The Journeyman, is available now via my website www.tomfairnie.com
I've just started recording another CD which is why I haven't posted any new songs on this site but I've written plenty for the new album. Thanks for your comments, they mean a lot
Tom
